Dos and Don'ts
Return to Help Index
Do:
- Submit valuable unique content. Our users are interested in finding quality sites which offer what they are looking for. Scrub The Web strives to deliver content different than main stream search engines. Our goal is not quantity. It is about quality.
- Make sure that each page on your site has a useful, unique and descriptive page <title> tag.
- Use the <meta> Description tag to let visitors have a complete description of what your Web page is about.
- Use the <meta> Keywords tag to describe the most important keywords for the Web page. ScrubTheWeb will use the keywords found in the <meta> Keywords tag ONLY IF those keywords are also found in the <body> of the Web page. Keywords not found in the <body> will be ignored.
- Use the <meta> Content-Type tag to let Scrubby as well as other search engines and browsers better understand the characters it finds on the Web page.
- And most important is that the Web page contains unique content (not copied from some other site), is well focused and is easy to navigate.
Don't:
- Avoid Duplicate Content - Scrub The Web tries hard to index and show pages with distinct information. This filtering means, for instance, that if your submitted URL's content results in duplicate content (two or more pages with identical content) already found in our index, your submittted URL will not be listed in the search results. If Scrub The Web perceives the duplicate content was an effort to deceive our users we may also make appropriate adjustments in the indexing and ranking of the sites involved.
- Submit pages that do not have valuable content. Scrubby does not want to index pages that do not provide valuable content to our visitors.
- Include metadata that does not accurately describe the content of web document.
- Submit pages whose primary intent is to redirect users to another page.
- Submit irrelevant cloaked pages. If cloaking methods are used and Scrubby or our visitors report you as a spammer, your entire Website may be removed from our index.
- Send automated queries to ScrubTheWeb.com in an attempt to monitor your site's ranking. Detected use of these programs will result in your access to ScrubTheWeb being blocked.
